永傳千古的愛情詩句

1.-- O, my Love is like a red, red rose,

That's newly sprung in June.

O, my Love is like the melodie,

That's sweetly played in tune.

——A Red, Red Rose by Robert Burns (1759-1796)

在愛情詩句里，彭斯的這首《一朵紅紅的玫瑰》總能贏得一席之位。在詩人眼中，"愛人就是六月初綻的玫瑰，火紅斗妍;又是一支奏起的曲子，美麗悠揚"。

2.-- Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?

Thou art more lovely and more temperate.

——from Sonnet 18 by William Shakespeare (1564-1616)

或許我可用夏日將你作比方，

但你比夏日更可愛也更溫良。

莎士比亞這首十四行詩恐怕對多數(shù)人來說并不陌生，把愛人比作濃濃的夏日突顯了愛人的多情。對多雨霧天氣的英國來說，"心愛之人如同夏日般令人愜意"，實在是再貼切不過的比喻了，夏季溫暖而不炎熱，是一年中最宜人的季節(jié)。

3.-- Drink to me only with thine eyes,

And I will pledge with mine;

Or leave a kiss but in the cup,

And I'll not look for wine.

——from Song to Celia by Ben Jonson (1573-1637)

"詩人祈求情人只用目光向他祝酒，他也會回報脈脈含情的目光"。真情無多話語，眉目已傳情。情人在杯中留下一吻，勝過美酒千杯。作者本·瓊森與莎士比亞同時代，這首《致西莉亞》是一首膾炙人口的抒情詩。以間接委婉的筆法描繪了情人的眉目顧盼和醉人的吻。

4.-- With thee conversing I forget all time,

All seasons and their change, all please alike.

——from Paradise Lost by John Milton (1608-1674)

"與亞當(dāng)說話，能讓夏娃忘記時間、季節(jié)輪轉(zhuǎn)與變化"，或許，在常人眼中，人世間最純樸的愛情表白就是這句了。彌爾頓的《失樂園》是英國文學(xué)史上最偉大的一部史詩，運用了大量典故和比喻。但是描述愛情的這句簡潔明了，通俗易懂。

5.-- Nothing in the world is single;

All things by a law divine

In one another's being mingle:-

Why not I with thine?

——from Love's Philosophy by Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792-1822)

在雪萊這首《愛的哲學(xué)》里，詩人站在哲人的角度寓教戀人，展開求愛攻勢。"在神圣的自然法規(guī)里，世間萬物從不孤零零存在，它們都必然容于一體，為什么你我卻要例外?"
